Won't Remember Window Placement

I have a late 2010 MBA running up-to-date Mavericks with an external large display. Since upgrading to Mavericks, when I move a Calendar, Contacts, Word or Skype windows to my small screen and restart the applications it places each window back on my large screen. I tried resizing them and closing them with the red dot and modifying and saving them before restarting. This did not fix the problem. When I place a Finder window on the built-in screen and close and open the window it does remember the screen location. For the other windows it is remembering part of the screen location because when I move it to the upper right of the internal screen or to the lower left of the internal screen it opens it in the upper right or lower left of the big screen, respectively. Can anyone duplicate this behavior?

I found the answer. It is a new Mavericks multi-display feature. It opens the application window in the display where the menu bar is active. So to open the application window on the internal display I click on the internal display background and then open the application. I prefer to use both screens as one logical space with my application windows arranged across both screens so I found how to turn it off.

InDesign won't remember window location

I'm running InDesign CS3 on a Windows XP system with Service Pack 2.
InDesign and InCopy open maximized, and I want them to open at half-screen so I can work in them side by side. I've saved workspaces, but that doesn't seem to work.

I'm similarly annoyed by the application's apparent inehrent inability to remember window size / configuration / placement on desktop whensuccessively opening the app.
In particular, Win 7 (64-bit FWIW in this instance) and using InDesign CS6, v8.0.1
After creating a shortcut on the desktop, the only options afforded through its Properties, at least as far as I've found, are to Run: Normal Window / Minimized / Maximized. Both Minimized and Maximized work as advertised, but Normal Window isn't behaving like a "normal" window, at least normal in the context of most applications running on Windows.
Is there anyway to get InDesign to remember these settings?
Thank you very much.

Some programs won't remember window size and position

I have a couple programs, notably ComicNerd, that won't ever seems to remember window size or position from quit to restart. I can't seems to find any evidence other people are having the same problem with the program, so I assume it's something wrong with my computer. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Is there some permissions problem or something?

It's likely a corrupted Preference file
Look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for .plist file with ComicNerd in it and just move it to your desktop and restart the program/computer.
The preference file should rebuild itself, so look for it and if it's in the Preference folder then delete the one on the desktop.
You also might want to run ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot.

the Verify > preference (show only corrupted) should also help locate other corrupted .plist (Preference) files for similar action like you did above.

Firefox won't remember window size within the window

The size within the window will not remember it's size.
By either using the - / + or "Ctrl" & scroll wheel to change the size within the window...Firefox won't remember and when you go to the next window or link or tab or new page or whatever it goes back to the size it wants to be at (like a default size).
How do we get it to stay the same size for every page?

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

you can specify your preferences in systemsettings->window behaviour->window rules. Just add a new entry for the application you want to start in a specific size, position, etc.
There are tons of options there, have fun.
edit.: forgot to say that you can also specify a rule for more than one application.
Thanks. I always thought this was enabled by default and maybe something was off. Guess not.

Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size?

Hi,
Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size. It always displays the same small window size. Deleting the preferences hasn't helped?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
Yes good point. It's Fireworks CS6 v 12.0.0.274 on Mac OSX v10.9.5.
I didn't have this issue with CS5.5 on 10.9.5, only started with CS6.
Anyway, you're probably right re living with it.
Maybe someone has experienced the same issue and found the reason.
Thanks again.

Won't remember my auto log in password for SKY...have to manually insert password every time. all other sites are OK..

whenever I use SKY for my email [ many time a day] - ([email protected]) Firefox won't remember my password (it's in settings - show passwords - so I know its there..) So every time I have to enter it manually - it's becoming a bit of a pain....
All other sites I access using passwords (YouTube / eBay ect) ALL auito log in properly - I've tried deleting from the saved password list and adding again but it still won't auto log in..what's up...???

Try this if you met the same problem
Syndrome:
The wireless network name appeared on the System Preference>Network>Airport>Advanced>Preferred Networks List, but every time when start computer or wake up, a popup window said "None preferred network is available" and ask me to select a new net work, if I select the same network, the password is there. The system keychain can remember the password but System preference cannot remember the Preferred/Joined wireless network.
Reason:
Fix to this problem that strangely centred on the specific location of the “System Preferences.app”, if other than the standard location of the root of the “Applications” folder.
If you have moved the System Preferences application (not alias, actual app) to any other location for any reason, your newly joined preferred network will NOT be properly remembered and will NEVER be properly rejoined.
Solution:
1) Move “System Preferences.app” back to “Applications\”.
2) Delete all instances of “Preferred Networks” in “Network Preferences”.
3) Delete all “Airport network password” instances in “Keychain Access”.
4) Restart your Mac.
5) Add/Join applicable preferred network using the Airport pulldown menu or in Network Preferences (as if for the first time). Use “Advanced” in “Network Preferences” to confirm the existence of your preferred network and the correct settings. Use “Keychain Access” to confirm the existence of the applicable “Airport network password” instance and the correct settings.
6) Restart your Mac. The OS should now find your preferred network and join it on its own. Good Luck!
NOTE: Simply moving back System Preferences will NOT suffice. Deleting and re-adding/joining the preferred network is a must after the app has been moved.

ID won't remember dual monitor workspace

ID CS3. I have a two monitor setup, with my application window on the right (secondary) monitor and all my palettes and toolbars on the left monitor. I've saved this workspace and ID has always opened up like this. But recently I installed a new plug-in from Rorohiko and ID won't remember the preferred workspace (it wants to open everything in the primary monitor). I've tried deleting the workspace and naming a new one, but that doesn't work. I don't want to remove the plug-in and I doubt if that would change anything. Any ideas on getting ID to behave?

Why not try removing the plug-in? If the problem goes away after that, you'll know that's the solution to your problem. If it doesn't, you can re-install the plug-in.

I updated to 4, in hope it will remember my username, it still won't remember. Now I'm using Chrome.

I did what I could: Tools, options, security and saved passwords.
Both IE and Chrome remembers the username.
How difficult is this?

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?

Firefox won't remember my passwords, even though I have told it to. Is there a fix for this? I am running Windows7

I have told Firefox to remember the password(s) I use on many different websites. It never remembers any of them. Is there a fix for this? I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Windows 7.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If Firefox doesn't offer to store passwords in the Password Manager then check that you aren't running Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.

New HD won't load Windows XP

I had to install a new HD but it won't load Windows XP, says I need a Bios update. how do I update the bios update without an operating system? Lenovo site says to load update via windows. Do NOT want Vista. Any suggestions?????

harix, welcome to the forum,
you do not state which notebook you have, this might be important. However, it may be that you just need to change your S-ATA settings in BIOS from AHCI to compatible mode.
